Problem

  • It's painful to enter the product name
  • As a result, many people don't take the time
  • Some major apps have taken a scraping/api approach for prefilling (but it's probably not something we want to do, and it takes a lot of time to build)

Proposed solution

  • Add a button to extract the product name from Front Photo using OCR
